NCSEA YOUNG MEMBERS GROUPS (YMGs)

NCSEA’s YMGs provide a community for young or new structural engineers to interact with their peers while also eliminating the gap between schooling and licensed practice, producing more confident, competent and capable engineers. Young Engineers are a growing and vital part of the National Council of Structural Engineers Associations.

The benefits of a YMG for young structural engineers, and the structural industry as a whole, are numerous. They include, but are not limited to:

• A venue for young or new structural engineers to meet, advise, network, and grow together.

• A productive transition from the university setting to licensed engineer is made possible.

• Technical confidence and experience are infused among members.• Refreshing and interesting discussions and presentations for members in

all stages of their careers, either as attendees or volunteer presenters.• An avenue to get involved with their state SEA as well as the national

NCSEA organization.
